More interesting things in Gitarist, part 2

When I referred to more interesting things coming up in Gitarist, one of the things I referred was the interview with Vicente Amigo in last month’s issue. This month’s issue – available in stores tomorrow – has something even more exciting. A childhood dream came true when I had the chance to interview Adrian Smith about Iron Maiden’s brand new ‘The Book Of Souls’ album. It was a very interesting conversation and the result can be read in Gitarist now. Another joy to do was the interview with JB Meijers and the lovely Ilse DeLange about Eurovision success The Common Linnets’ new album. And if that wasn’t enough, another interview of mine – with Black-Bone frontman Steef van den Boogaard, another nice guy – rounds out my contribution.

Not completely of course, because a lot of the reviews included are mine as well. But my work is not all there is. We published an exclusive interview with former Pink Floyd man David Gilmour, focusing on his gear and his brand new record ‘Rattle That Lock’, and there’s a host of gear reviews and background stories that is bound to please anyone interested in guitars. And don’t you just love the sober nature of the cover? I know I do!

Welcome to my weblog

Being a musician and a journalist, I felt the need to set up something to keep people informed about interesting publications and work-in-progress for both of these functions. I guess I am what people call a muso, so some of my ramblings may seem interesting to me, but will seem the contrary to you. Feel free to let me know in any case. I hope you will enjoy what I post here.
